About the tides at Fort Pierce Inlet, south jetty
Fort Pierce Inlet, south jetty has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at Miami Beach, Government Cut. The average range is about 2.6 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.0 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 3.8 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 1.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.8 ft on September 29, and the lowest is −1.2 ft on January 23.
Fort Pierce Inlet, south jetty is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Miami Beach, Government Cut: highs come about 31 min and lows about 18 min earlier than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1972 to 1973 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Fort Pierce Inlet, 0.7 mi away, where high tide comes about 26 min later. For tidal currents, see Fort Pierce Inlet Entrance.
Predictions are based on Miami Beach, Government Cut.
